Happy Mother’s Day

Mothers are teachers. Mothers are disciplinarians. Mothers are cleaning ladies. Some mothers are gardeners’ & mowers of lawns. Mothers are nurses & doctors & psychologists & counselors & chauffeurs & coaches. Mothers are developers of personalities, molders of vocabularies, & shapers of attitudes. Mothers are soft voices saying, "I love you." And mothers are a link to God, a child’s first impression of God’s love. Mothers are all of these things & much, much more.

2 Timothy 1:5 and 3:15 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.(3:15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make theewise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Timothy’s, Paul’s son in the faith, a Pastor and leader of the early church did not learn Godliness from Paul or from Peter. He did not set at the feet of the great teachers of Israel and learn the faith. He learned to love God from his mother, who had learned from her mother. Perhaps the most important lesson that we should learn from our mothers, and fathers, is the lesson of faith. The first glimpse we have of the love of God is seen in the face of our mother.

 I guess when it comes right down it, Mother’s matter because of something more basic than their protection, support and teaching. The real reason that they matter is because they love us. No matter what they love us.Mother’s day is our opportunity to say, "Thank ‘ya Mom.
